RALLY BEHIND AKUFO-ADDO ...Says Asamoah (Page 17)

Story: A. Kofoya-Tetteh, Kade

THE New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Kade in the Eastern Region, Mr Ofosu Asamoah, has asked the rank and file of the party to solidly rally behind Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo, the party’s flag bearer, to enable the party to win this year’s presidential and parliamentary elections.
He said although Nana Akufo-Addo had all the qualities of a leader to be elected as president of Ghana, that would only be possible if he was accorded the necessary support.
Mr Ofosu Asamoah, who is also the Deputy Eastern Regional Minister, made the call at an end-of-year get-together he organised for the rank and file of the NPP in the Kade Constituency  at Kade on New Year’s eve.
He said the NPP had made significant gains in all sectors of the economy and needed a leader such as Nana Akufo-Addo to lead it to victory to enable an NPP Presidential candidate to take over from an NPP sitting President, adding that with Nana Akufo-Addo, the NPP would emerge victorious to take over from President J.A. Kufuor.
He, therefore, asked the rank and file to unite and strategise for a resounding victory at the December polls.
“The NPP has made a significant breakthrough in all sectors; a drastic fall in the inflation making the cedi to be at par with the dollar, health insurance which is making it possible for the poor to access quality health care, Capitation Grant and School Feeding Programme that have increased enrolment at the basic level and numerous government initiatives which are improving the standard of living of the people,” Mr Ofosu Asamoah stated.
“The people have seen these initiatives and programmes and will definitely support the NPP and Nana Akufo-Addo but there is the need for the rank and file of the party to put aside all their differences and strategise for a resounding victory in December,” Mr Ofosu Asamoah stated.
The Chief of Asuom, Nana Ofosuhene Appenteng also called for support for Nana Akufo-Addo and the party to win the December elections.
